The First Message is a comedic look at the anxieties that come with online dating. After receiving a 98% match on his dating profile, Mark begins to be plagued with self-doubt. Sitting himself down for a good pep-talk, Mark attempts to build his confidence in a curious way to prepare for first contact.

The First Message has premiered at several film festivals in 2016, most notably at the 2016 Reel Pride Film Festival in Winnipeg, where it was nominated for the Jury and Audience Award for Best Canadian Short Film.
